beady eye finally decided to drop and it was the expertise one.. god damnit

Both Me and Caleb got HCTF Expertise bracers, i can't use them since the HC Mastery ones are better (agi gain isnt worth the 100% stats loss form expertise)

And, to top it all off, we got 2 pairs of HCTF Pure expertise CLOTH bracers last week, i know it's just hit rating, but still - Expertise seems way way more common than the other stats, at least for us. I'm blown away with how retarded the random drop bracers rolling hit stats is, we're already miles overcapped without them...and i'm pretty sure there was a blue post a few years back saying gear itemization was supposed to improve as the tiers progressed, i've never seen it worse than it is right now...

Ra-den is what you get when a designer thinks that's actually a really good idea.

Do anyone else remember when they said that as you progress through the new raids, you would also need more hit/exp raitngs?
This idea was obv. scratched, but the item designers might've forgotten that. :P

Assuming all are heroic thunder forged 2/2. I haven't had legs drop yet, so not able to test entirely.

I did already answer your pm but for everyone.
It's just impossible to forge away the hit with conduit legs. Gaze has a 180 agi socket bonus where the set helmet has 180 crit.
I compared both items too and i got 9.5% hit with conduit legs and Gaze 7.58%.

Ya ignore pm, I'll just reply here

Ok because just swapping the two around for me yields even with extra hit rating:

Tier helm + conduit: 242k
Gaze + tier legs: 243k

I need that damn cloak ..... 8/12 ugh.

Edit: I didn't reforge, but just swapped. So the over hit cap, you could replace some purple gems with pure red. Not entirely arguing that tier/conduit is better, but it's not completely far off. Oh and you're troll and engineer so you're getting slightly more from racial and that. I need to go engineering too.

Same item level, both hit/exp. My question is: Is the Ra-den ring going to be the deciding factor this tier as to what our best in slot, because unless I made a mistake, I don't really see a huge difference between the two setups going Gaze/Tierleg or Tierhelm/Conduit.
